#399 PHOTOWALK: 9/11 REMEMBERED

11 Sep

FEATURING JOEL MEYEROWITZ, PHIL PENMAN AND JASON FLORIO

We walk together on a Monday, a special programme today to commemorate 9/11, the date in September that changed the course of history forever, socially, and geopolitically. The commemoration includes archive interview material with photographer Joel Meyerowitz and photojournalist Jason Florio, with previously unpublished thoughts from the New York City-based street photographer Phil Penman. This programme contains material and language that some listeners may find disturbing.

Email your stories, thoughts, and pictures to the show. If you can optimize/resize photos to 2,500 pixels wide, that’s always much appreciated. If you’d like to support this show and have access to further content and the midweek Extra Mile show, we’d welcome you as an EXTRA MILER. There’s also our thriving Facebook group, a safe place to meet and talk with photographers of all interests, plus the show is featured on Instagram, VERO and Twitter.

As well as our Extra Milers, we’re also supported by our incredible friends at MPB.com who have believed in this show from the get-go; the number one platform in the UK, US and Europe (with bases in Brighton, Brooklyn and Berlin) when it comes to buying, trading or selling quality used kit online. They help us as photographers to tell our unique stories by providing a safe place to buy, trade and sell the kit we need and in doing so, we become a part of the sustainable circular economy. With guarantees upon kit purchased, buy used, spend less and get more at MPB.com.
